I have posted on this blog in the past and just wanted to add that I have probably helped 20-30 patients suffering from migraines since my last post in November of 2009. I am constantly amazed by how many patients with migraines have associated spinal misalignments in their upper cervical spine (neck). There is no amount of medication that is going to fix a mis-aligned vertebrae. If you suffer from migraines do yourself a favor and consult your local chiropractor. I provide my patients with a blend of magnesium, Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and feverfew (herbal remedy) supplementation to correct any nutritional deficiencies along with their adjustments and I have been getting miraculous results for my patients. Hope this helps.

Have theory: Migraine starts with a liver enzyme: Tryptophan oxygenase (EC1.13.1.12.,L-tryptophan:oxygen oxydoreductase)Hypothesis evolved out of persuit of entirely different problem. Anyone have an idea how I can get my theory “out there?” Wish someeone would take this theory as his own, and go with it. I am not a migraineur and really feel for the people who cope with this disability.

I am a chiropractor in Reno, NV and I treat patients with headaches (including migraines) on a daily basis. I have treated men with migraines, but it is more common for men to experience what is called a Cluster Headache. This type of headache can mimic a migraine, but it is different than a migraine. It is important to get evaluated by your M.D. or chiropractor if you are getting recurring headaches to rule out more serious causes like infection or tumors.
Chiropractors take a natural approach to relieving headaches. A thorough spinal evaluation often times reveals spinal misalignments that cause tension under the base of the skull, which can lead to headaches. Most chiropractors offer nutritional advice such as supplementation that can also be very beneficial toward eliminating headaches/migraines.

Most migraine sufferers are deficient in magnesium. Adults need about 400 mg/day of magnesium. If you can’t get that thru diet, then add supplements. Just remember to make sure you’re getting enough calcium (500-800 mg). Also, you need B vitamins and D to help the absorption. Medical studies support this, but docs don’t really talk about it. It’s also a good anti-cancer diet as well, so two birds with one stone. It has worked for me.
Good luck.
Easy way to start boosting your magnesium is to have shreddies with milk before bed. And a handful of peanuts as a snack during the day. Spinach and swiss chard are also good.

I thought I’d pass on this newly found relief for migraine. I have taken topamax, zomig, enderal, relpax, emitrix, etc. I read an article about 100 mg of vitamin B-2 per day. I normally have at least 2 migraines per week. I started taking the b2 (riboflavin) 10 days ago and have yet to have the first sign of a migraine. Please….at least give it a try. The prescriptions are so expensive and I’ve always been worried about what they might be doing to my heart and other organs.
